Speaking to reporters prior to Wenger's announcement, Rodgers intimated he is not seeking to leave Celtic, where he won a domestic treble last season, a feat he could repeat this term.

"There's still a lot of work for me to do and achieve on and off the pitch," said Rodgers. "But you can only do that if you're happy, and I couldn't be happier at this club and the support I get from the board.

"It's all very aligned and very clear and that allows me to work in confidence and it gives the stability to the team, the staff and everyone, and we can all move forward."
